Speaker: Katja Obring - Founder, Kato Coaching
Talk: AI didn’t break testing. It just made bad decisions faster
Description: As AI becomes embedded in software delivery pipelines, testing is often one of the first areas where teams experiment. The results are mixed: impressive demos, fragile outcomes, and growing uncertainty about what can be trusted.This talk reframes AI in testing as a quality and decision problem rather than a tooling problem. It explores what AI is genuinely good at, where it struggles, and how teams can reason about risk before integrating it into their testing workflows. Attendees will be introduced to a practical framework for deciding how and where to use AI as an accelerator, while keeping accountability, intent, and quality firmly in human hands.

Speaker: TBC
